Top Timbavati Game Reserve Hotel Reviews

AM Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at AM Lodge. Shepherd helped carefully coordinate logistics regarding pickups, meals, and even an excursion to Kruger National Park. Benjamin was an outstanding guide for our morning and evening game rides, looking for paw prints and signs taking us to lions, giraffes, rhinos, impala, zebras, and more - seeing animals up close was an amazing experience! Our accommodations (Superior Suite #8) overseeing the reserve had a phenomenal view of the river and nearby mountains. The outdoor patio was such a serene and perfect spot to relax during the day. Thanks to everyone at AM Lodge that made our stay feel special!"

Hoyo Hoyo Safari Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We traveled as a couple and spent three nights in Hoyo Hoyo. Our trip was all about the two three hour game drives morning and evening. They were sensational. Andrew, our guide was a treasure. Our bungalow was fantastic and beautifully appointed (NB tailor your expectations. This is in the middle of the bush and not an 80th floor suite in a 6 star hotel in China). Nonetheless, all our needs were catered for with a smile and a joke from the delightful staff, always at the ready. Highly recommend."

Radisson Safari Hotel Hoedspruit

8/10 Good

"Very nicely appointed rooms and a big walk in shower, separate from the tub. The main lobby was beautiful, restaurant is very nice. They also offer room service. There is also a nice spa on campus, but we did not have time to investigate. Breakfast was included, the hotel offers a lovely buffet. Also noticed after the fact, that I did not receive the 20% off a restaurant order offered through Expedia for Key members. I would stay here again."

Simbavati River Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our 3 nights stay! The whole staff was very friendly and present when needed. We loved our drives with Sarah and Joseph, their knowledge, patience and enthusiasm made the drives extra special. They made great effort to see the animals we wanted to see on each drives. We saw the big 5 from really close, multiple times! We loved the terrace in our lodge facing the river, during breaks we would watch elephants, waterbuck and hippos cross the river. The food was diverse and very good. Ralph made sure we had everything we needed and was so welcoming."

Geiger's Camp by NEWMARK

8/10 Good

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Geiger’s camp, the staff, guide and tracker go above and beyond to ensure you have a great experience. The staff was very friendly and outgoing and took the time to learn more about all the guests and take a genuine interest in where we came from and our different experiences. One thing that was a little disappointing for us was that we never got to have the boma experience, which was something we were really looking forward to. Also while the food itself was quite good, the menu consisted of main courses serving varieties of game meats. While I myself enjoyed it, it would have been nice to have a heads up or alternative options for those who aren’t feeling as adventurous. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay."

Simbavati Hilltop Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Simbavati Hilltop is top notch! From the 9 times per day (yes, that is NINE times) that you are fed, to the staff, game drives, views and rooms! Not only do you have your own plunge pool overlooking the river, but there is also a shared, larger pool. There is also a daybed at the room, outdoor shower, fully stocked complimentary mini bar and very comfortable bed! We saw hippo and elephant from our room. On game drives, lions feasting on a giraffe, hyena and wild dogs interacting, 2 leopards and more. We have now stayed at all of the Simbavati lodges in Timbavati and Klasarie and they are all excellent! Highly recommend!"
